She's pretty. I like the curved stem.

Sounds very promising. I look forward to more reports as you wring it out more.

Thanks for the link, that's a nice and clean installation. When I hear/read STOL, I automatically think big flaps, or greater extension on the flaps. I landed a C210 with flaperons once and found the controls very heavy feeling on landing. I was not a fan at all, but I also had 5200 feet of...

That will be a fun change for you. Go up on a windy day and practice slow flight maneuvers and you might be able to hover. Which STOL kit did you go with?

She's pretty. Do you know the weight? I'd also like to know your thoughts regarding build difficulty vs. a S&G if you've done an S&G, that is...

Nice work as always, Beekeeper.

That appears to be an urban myth from a few years ago. NRA even had a write up about it in 2012: https://www.nraila.org/articles/20120720/rumor-control Marlin was at the SHOT show a couple of weeks ago: https://www.facebook.com/MarlinFirearms However, we do need to stay vigilant. Especially...

That's a lot of push poling. Thanks for the report, looks like a day out on the water.

Seems funny to say "Welcome back" when it's your place to begin with, but Welcome Back anyway! Hope the next 7 years go as well or better than the last.

Attaboy Jack! Two good decisions lately and sharing with us as a reminder for our daily lives even if we are not flying. Whether paddling in (too) rough water, or driving in bad weather. There are usually options to avoid bad situations and recognizing the problem early provides more choices...

George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Putin all die and go to hell. While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for. The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth. Putin asks to call Russia and talks for 5 minutes. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost...

Are end pours a requirement, or just a good idea?

Thanks BUFF, I've read most of the build threads here and on TKF and was able to learn some new tricks from you. I like the baggie idea and the lightning holes for the spacers. The boat looks great. Your SS&G will be another good one to watch.

In south Texas there are border check points. At the border naturally, then for some reason another one about 100 miles north of the border. We get stopped when returning from dove hunts. No big deal other than a slight delay. Never had to get out of the car, I think they just asked if we're...

Forgive me for commenting on my own comment, but I was poking around the Road ID website and saw all the ID's are $15.00. That's half off the "fancy" one and a decent reduction on the others. We just moved into a new house and ordered new ones about a month ago. Wish I'd have waited...

Awesome mileage and congrats on the weight loss. The blue band on your wrist is a great idea too. Not only for biking and running, but maybe for a solo paddler as well. FYI for the folks who don't recognize the blue band it is a Road ID. I am not affiliated with them, but my wife and I have...

Thanks Jack, I always enjoy your trip reports.

You have a good wife and a nice boat!

Thanks for the pics. You do nice work.

Congrats! Another successful launch of a historically significant craft. Thanks for the build post and launch video.
